Mass Effect 3<br />

Absolutely amazing game<br />

�Mass effect 3 is the conclusion to the Mass Effect trilogy, the<br />

action role playing game series from its producer BioWare. It was<br />

published by Electronic Arts and is available for different platforms<br />

such as Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 3. The last<br />

part of the trilogy brings the story of Commander Shepard to<br />

a <strong>full</strong> circle.<br />

Mass Effect 3 is beautiful and touching in terms of its storyline.<br />

The brilliant voice acting further breathes life into the characters<br />

in the game. Mass Effect 3 is influenced by the decisions made<br />

by the players in the prequels Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2. This<br />

gives the entire story unity and coherence. The character appearances<br />

are much improved. The gameplay too is largely improved<br />

upon and the levels have been designed quite skill<strong>full</strong>y.<br />

The prevalent theme in mass effect 3 is sacrifice. It reoccurs all<br />

throughout the game. In the prequels the gripping storyline brings<br />

us close to each of the different characters in the game and in<br />

this conclusion it paints pictures of devastation and destruction<br />

of worlds. The ties and bonds of familiarity that had been formed<br />

in the previous editions of the game are manipulated. Mass Effect<br />

shakes up relationships by forcing one to make particularly<br />

difficult choices in complicated situations. The emotional impact<br />

that the game makes is significant with perhaps every major occurrence<br />

affecting us deeply. The game is quite personal but less<br />

so than its predecessor. The focus of the game is much more on<br />

the plot.<br />

PC, PS3, XBOX360<br />

Once the<br />

game starts, it proves to be more<br />

and more engaging with every step. Destruction is<br />

everywhere. The humaneness becomes more and<br />

more obvious and the story draws us within itself.<br />

The gameplay is much improved. The shooting sequences<br />

are brilliant and culminate in perfect climaxes.<br />

The artificial intelligence is more advanced mak- www<br />

ing the gameplay more difficult. The RPG elements<br />

have become more developed, than in the predecessor.<br />

The weapons are better customizable also and the choices<br />

are many and varied.<br />

Several features have been modified and added in the combat<br />

mode of the game. Combat is more extensive and exciting than<br />

ever.<br />

The Reaper threat is not the one and only threat in this game.<br />

The goal of the game is to eliminate the reapers from the galaxy<br />

using some super weapon. However, an organization known as<br />

Cerebrus exists led by the Illusory Man who strives to achieve<br />

similar goals but using means of their own. They in fact go to considerable<br />

length and this complicates the quest. They form quite<br />

a good part of the engaging storyline.<br />

Mass Effect 3 has one of the best storylines ever. The plot is extremely<br />

engaging, the characters have great depths bordering on<br />

the indiscernible. The gameplay is brilliant and does <strong>full</strong> justice<br />

to the remarkable storyline. The cut scenes are beautiful. Options<br />

are more than ever. Mass Effect 3 can definitely be called as<br />

a brilliant conclusion to the stunning Mass Effect trilogy.<br />
